I have worn New Balance for 20 years. The 847 is my favorite. Great fit and style.

Bought these shoes because I needed a good walking shoe. I have tried other brands, but these are by far the best, most comfortable shoes for walking that I have owned.

I rarely get a perfect fit right out of the box and sometimes never. My dress shoes run from 9.5 2A to 10.5 2A. I bought an 11 2A. I wanted a little extra room and I had worn an 11N in Reebok. When I measure my foot with a ruler it measures 10.5 inches long. Thanks for a good shoe!

They did a exceptional job with the new 847. They still use the absorb cushion system and the roll bar technology like the previous 847. But the V3 fits a lot better.

I love the sneakers but always have to buy better insoles $25.00 more for my feet to feel good. 76 yrs old I walk at least 2 miles most days.

Please up grade the interior materials used to make this shoe; my skin doesn't like it. That being said, They are great shoes. I find I stand up straighter and walk with a lot more ease while wearing the shoes.

I wear my New Balance almost every day, I'm very pleased. I used to wear Nike for decades and I'm really not sure why. I don't care for their politics and the last pair I had, the soles literally peeled of the shoe of an almost brand new pair. Never again. I'm a month into this pair of NB and I anticipate they will serve well. Assuming things continue to go well, they will be the only sneaks I'll buy.

Pretty comfortable, I spend a lot of time on my feet and my feet feel good at the end of the day. Although it seems like I need a more supportive inner sole.

Everyday wear. Have had many NB shoes. The two most recent purchases have squeaky heels. Have tried some powder, but that didn't help.

Because of my flat feet I need the motion stability these shoes offer.

I feel that with each new version the quality goes down. I have been wearing the 847 for years and they aren't nearly as comfortable as they used to be. However they are the best shoe to accommodate my orthotics. Also, it would be nice if New Balance would change or add to the color choices on this style. I can't remember when they've updated the colors.

It's nice to be able to buy shoes without going to a store and trying them on. They always feel good right out of the box.

I've been wearing New Balance for years to walk and for aerobic exercise. This style provides the toe room I need, but seems looser in the heel than previous styles. Not enough of a problem to cause blisters, but laced as tight as is comfortable, my heel still slips a bit. Seems that the whole shoe runs slightly wider than my old ones.

This is my new walking shoe. I was not sure what size to purchase as I haven't had a NB shoe is many years. I have a wide foot so I ordered my size in the W. I also wanted room for my orthotics. There is plenty of room for them in this shoe and they are plenty wide. I am not sure I needed the W however. So far so good. Enjoying them.

I like the fact this is a xxw shoe the only criticism is that the heal area could have stronger support.

Don't let this light weight and breathable shoe fool you! It has great support for my fallen arches and is extra comfortable! The only drawback is that it is NOT American made...it is assembled in the USA, not made in the USA.

I wear this shoe outdoors for exercise walks and leisure walks. I wear it all day indoors because I have a damaged posterior tendon (PTT)in one foot and cannot walk in non-supportive shoes or slippers or barefoot. Pros: -Mix of leather and mesh makes it comfortable in warm weather -Cushioning is good, not too firm, not too soft -Cushioned under forefoot. I have bunions and some shoes have good heels, but little or no forefoot cushioning. This shoe feels good under the entire foot. -Wide high toe box -Roll bar/anti-pronation/stability feature is comfortable; some shoes have so much that they are either too stiff or won't accommodate an orthotic without making it feel like too much anti-pronation. So far, just trying the new shoes on in the house, they feel good without any added orthotics (high praise) -Much better than the 847v1/2 I started with 842s and wore every series through the 846. Loved the fit and support. Hated the 847v1/2. Toe box was too low and narrow. The 847v3 feels more like the 846, which I loved. Cons: -I assumed it would have the SL-2 last, with a wide forefoot and narrow heel, but the heel seems wide. This may be due to the size and width combination I ordered, but I don't think so. When I look at the pictures online and at the shoe itself, the heel seems wider. -Not available in hook and loop. Please add this feature to all your walking shoes. Suggestions/Requests: -Several of your name brand competitors and the largest multi-brand competitor online allow purchasers to wear them outside and return for an exchange. Please do this, especially during these times when we cannot go in to a store, which many of us will not be doing for a very, very long time. -Specify the last design -Specify the shoe drop mm for walking shoes as you do for running shoes. People with bunions often find a higher shoe drop puts too much pressure on the forefoot, especially if adding an orthotic, making it even higher

I had the 847v3 in white and gave it a good long test drive. Once convinced that they were comfortable enough, I decided to get a pair in black to wear in the various dog show venues in which I compete.

I originally purchased these shoes in my normal size 9.5, but they were too big. Return prepaid mail process was easy and customer service quickly gave me the same promotional discount on my reorder. Arrived in 4 days and fit great. Thank you.
